    I came to this video because I watched the commercial for a magic eraser and just randomly decided to look up a video about it. I have to say, awesome channel! Not only do you do your research and provide pros and cons, but you site almost everything which helps us dig a little deeper on our own. Glad I found your channel. Thank you!!!

    I'm just starting to utilize these sponges, and they're pretty great! Your video is the most informative, and I thank you for that. Thanks for taking the time to critique this product for its pros & cons. Super video!

    I can't believe I never saw this one. Great info on the magic eraser!! Using tiny pieces definitely extends the life. I will tear of a little walnut-sized chunk at a time, say to clean pencil marks off the wall after hanging something up. That way, I only have to toss the little chunk and the rest of the sponge stays clean. I will say that I use it for special case messes only. Particularly painted walls and trim. Tho, you're right about it being slightly abrasive. I found it will affect the sheen on flat finish paint if you're too vigorous with the scrubbing.

    I live and die by these. They're the best thing ever for smudges on paint walls, dirt on textured surfaces, and for getting through grease in the kitchen. Used with hot water and borax and a little detergent, it can cut through virtually anything.

    Crayon off of walls = use a hairdryer and warm up the marks and wipe away with some cleaner...voila...all gone!
    I also use the Magic Erasers until they are virtually "gone" - I also cut them up into 3 pieces and buy the larger ones. I only use them on my walls, doors and sometimes hard water stains if they're particularly tough (only on porcelain sinks/tubs though!).
    Oh oh...I almost forgot - white toothpaste mixed with a bit of water will clean off scuff marks almost as quickly as Magic Erasers and it is environmentally friendly! I tried this when I was filling in some holes with some white toothpaste. I didn't try this with any other toothpaste like aquafresh or blue colored toothpaste though...it was just plain old white toothpaste. LOL

      I actually had some, I ordered from wish.com and they came the other day. I just used one to remove label residue from some bottles, and some command strips leftovers from the wall; worked very nice!

  • @sherriemoore6705
    @sherriemoore6705 6 лет назад +5

    These do work like a dream in the shower, on baseboards, on scuff marks, etc. I can't see myself giving these up. But I am old school, retired RN and viruses and other germs scare me more than using things like bleach. However Kay you have got me trying to use less and try alternatives...

  • @carriesteptoe

  • @susanpeterson9947
    @susanpeterson9947 5 лет назад +3

    Darn, sorry to hear that Magic Eraser isn’t biodegradable. I assumed that because it disintegrates as you scrub with it, it would be ok. I will quit buying it, but I will surely miss it!

  • @jpeachy4u482
    @jpeachy4u482 7 лет назад +4

    Actually there is worse forms of formaldehyde in most nail polishes. I'm a little worried about the bio-degradable factor, so I will use it sparingly. But most wall marks or any other marks will come off with a a damp cloth and white toothpaste, it has to be white or it will stain.

  • @hcderksen
    @hcderksen 5 лет назад +2

    Nice to see you use common sense in your comments. I really wouldn’t be to worried about being recyclable. Actually they could be.

    • @hcderksen
      @hcderksen 5 лет назад

      My point being that virtually everything can be recycled. Like the young fellow in India who figured out how to use plastic bags, which it seems no one wants to recycle, to make gasoline. Maybe some of these things can be converted to something else useful.

  • @patriciawolfe8983

    baking soda dry on damp or dry cloth may be a better, healthier choice, definitely cheap.

    Can the magic eraser be used to clean spots on old sofas? Thanks.

    • @TheOrganizedSoprano
      @TheOrganizedSoprano  7 лет назад

      Not sure honestly. I'm guessing it won't last long...you could try it on a small, inconspicuous area?

  • @brittanywitt640
    @brittanywitt640 6 лет назад +1

    Do you have flat paint on your walls? I have flat "unwashable" paint on our walls, I live in an apartment where I can't paint, and I have not been able to get scuff marks off our walls! It seems my only choice is to re-paint. And you know you can't just spot paint because it'll never be a perfect match. I'm curious if this magic eraser will work.

    • @TheOrganizedSoprano
      @TheOrganizedSoprano  6 лет назад

      Hm...I *think* so. It's not shiny. I actually have to go buy a small sample because the developer just painted the apartments and left no paint behind. I would give it a try on a small inconspicuous spot?I bet it would work!

    hello Hub Neat Home! thanks for the very informative video. i don't use Magic Erasers and after your excellent explanation of what they are and the draw backs, i definitely won't be buying them. however, i'm torn over the microfiber clothes. they work well, but i read somewhere that they also breakdown and are flooding the environment with plastic bits. yuck! am i wrong on this? thank you.

      Candace, you're not wrong. Microfiber stuff is also shedding microplastic also. *sigh*...I have been doing lots of thinking about it over the last 24 hours for sure. WILL DEFINITELY GO DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE!

    I don't end up with anything to recycle, as it rubs off dirt and leaves behind a bit of ???? I rinse off hard surfaces and vacuum off walls then damp cloth wipe to remove all. I am more frightened off what my Dyson is pulling from my carpet, i.e., the worn out broken fibers ICCCCK The paint on my walls, rug "stiff", shower/tub enclosure (what is that the steam is semi permanently adhering to the stall and walls and ..... what my microwave is doing to leach container into my food, hmmmm, oh, and the ever present ac/htr vents spewing into my already bad air flow in my apt. okay, just scared myself to death sorta.

      Hm...probably not a safe idea since they are plastic. The dioxins from burning plastics are pretty toxic.

      Rude! LOL Congratulations on being the first one to comment about my nails! Been waiting for that to happen! This is a video about magic eraser. I’m here to educate you about cleaning. Did you learn something you didn’t know before? Will you buy this product again? Maybe you are having a bad day. Considering I organize people’s homes for a living, I can’t keep perfectly manicured nails NOR is it a priority. My priority is to inspire and change people’s relationships with their things. If you’re looking for a channel with perfectly manicured nails an organizing channel is probably not the place to find it.

      It’ s too bad that after this very informative and helpful video this is what you have to say!! How shallow (not to mention RUDE) you seem to be. I hope (like Kay suggested) that you were having a really bad day, and not that you just enjoy being so critical. Holy cow, lady! And Kay, excellent response! I look forward to your videos and admire you so much!
